The amazing rocky scenery of Creux du Van in the Jura is considered the Grand Canyon of Switzerland. Around 200 metres down to the depths of limestone rocks form a semicircle around an original landscape.

Wow, I'd never heard of this area. When I lived in Germany, I had the chance to visit Switzerland, but couldn't due to illness. It's surprising to see everything so green as we have this idea that it's covered in snow all year round. What a beautiful country and some great photos! Thanks for reminding me to get there someday. :)

Thank you so much!
